Alexis Cecilio is 25 years old and is from Granada, Nicaragua.
In 2014 he entered the St. Vincent de Paul Minor Seminary, and after three years of study, he entered the St. Peter Apostolic Major Seminary, to continue his formation in Philosophy. He remained there for two and a half years.
At the end of the course, his bishop, Bishop Jorge Solórzano Pérez, appointed him to study abroad, at the University of Navarra.
"I am currently living in the Bidasoa International Ecclesiastical College. It is one more academic stage, but it is also one more step in the spiritual aspect. I also wish to continue my formation to become a priest. Whose preparation involves the four configurative areas with the Lord: human, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral. Thanks to your prayers, I am moving forward in my search to become another Christ. In the same way, just as you help spiritually, you also help materially, because this would not be possible without people with generous hearts, who think of the future of the Church. For this reason I thank you unconditionally for your charism of service, collaboration and availability.
May God bless the work you do in the Church, that it may be fruitful, and may he bless your personal work. For this is the cause from which will arise more acts of generosity in the world, more priests in the Church and more people dedicated by your example. I commend you to our Mother the Virgin Mary, daughter of God the Father, Mother of God the Son and Spouse of God the Holy Spirit".
Supports a vocation anywhere in the world
A full scholarship of 18,000 euros is the amount necessary for a candidate to live and study for one year at their university locations, whether in Rome or Pamplona. The neediest dioceses in the world require a full scholarship for their candidates. In many cases, the diocese covers part of this cost and a lesser amount is required, which is always indicated with the candidate's application.
What does a full scholarship consist of?
More than 800 bishops from all five continents request study grants for their candidates through scholarships. Thanks to benefactors like you, CARF meets most of the requests, but the needs are growing and we want all requests to be met.
